So here's a link I found form a post that Andy did about Down imaging and Structure scanning.

You can do Down Imagine through the hull but side scanning has to be in the water. Paddling at 2 to 3 knots is not difficult, trust me I have done it. Paddle kayaks are only as slow as the paddler wants them to be. I think I know what system I'm going to pick up now, just need to save up a little more.

Paddling 2-3 knots is not the problem no but but paddling + dragging the LSS2 and trying to stay on course is not going to be easy...its going to be a challenge thats for sure.

Yes jimmy, I know paddling 2-3knts is not difficult....trust me...I've owned a kayak or two in my day...I also know that dragging an LSS2 transducer is not going to be easy, because I have one, im just trying to help, structure scan is a big investment and it would be fucked if it didnt work for you.

I think that maybe a duo trip is in order. JimmyZ sits in Tonys front hatch and they map out the sea bottom together.

Now that is teamwork.

That big 10 incher(sidescan transducer). Takes two men to use properly.
